It’s understandable you want to compete with Sydney, but this is just one battle you’re going to lose.

The two capital cities are again in the midst of rivalry, with Melbourne deciding to create its own version of Sydney’s iconic Harbour Bridge climb.

The Bridge, which is hugged by spectacular views of the city’s landmarks, has attracted more than 3 million people with its climb.

It has held a number of Hollywood heavyweights, including Oprah, Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell and even Derek Zoolander.

But Melbourne still thinks it can beat Sydney’s extravaganza with a rooftop walk along the MCG. Really Melbourne?

Sports Minister John Eren told the Herald Sun the new plan for the “world renowned” stadium could be better than the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb — but NSW Premier Mike Baird slammed the claims in the most hilarious way possible.

“If Melburnians want to create their own harbour bridge climb, they will first need to build a harbour bridge,” he said.

“Come to think of it, they will first need to build a harbour.

“We wish them luck.”

It’s certainly a pretty big call to say this will rival the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb, which boasts views of the Opera House, Luna Park and the waters lapping on the edges of ferry wharves.

It also appeals to all walks of life, except those maybe afraid of heights.

People have even said their nuptials while standing more than 100 metres above Sydney Harbour.

It’s safe to assume not many women will want to wed above a cricket ground, however I’m sure it will be a dream for many men.

So Melbourne, while the “sky high” tourist walk may be a great addition to the city, maybe stick to rivalling the Eureka Skydeck, rather than one of the most recognisable landmarks in the whole country.
